The cpunk archives, Cryptome and a host of other crypto resources are likely to be shutdown if the war panic continues.
What methods could be used to assure continued access to crypto even if possession and/or usage is outlawed?
That is to do what NSA and its global sisters do to keep crypto data available in perpetuity.
Post that info here, too, maybe, after thinking about the consequences.
A while back a list of global sites for accessing crypto was set up at:
<http://jya.com/crypto-free.htm>
To supplement whatever is posted here, we would appreciate hearing by encrypted mail what others have done or could do to stockpile and distribute privacy tools? We've sent out a few hundred CDs of the Cryptome collection, and are considering offering a ~100MB compressed package of the ~8000 files.
There are only a few crypto programs in the files, mostly PGP since 2.62. We might grab more for inclusion unless others are doing that. To comply with law we'd have to notify BXA of any new offerings.

Eugene,
Perhaps as a result of my lifting blocks at your request Cryptome is nearly shutdown by people sucking contents for mirroring. My intention was to encourage mirroring not of Cryptome but of important crypto tools listed at:
<http://jya.com/crypto-free.htm>
Most of Cryptome is non-essential stuff and doesn't deserve much mirroring. The crypto-free programs are much more important.
We'll make available compressed versions of Cryptome for putting at a few other sites but there's no need for more than that, and our modest service is choking on the overload. Once the archive is available elsewhere URLs will be publicized.
Hope you'll spread this word to other forums, and pass along the URL for crypto-free.htm instead.
Unintended consequences give birth to freedom-deniers.
